Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. If a player is thrown out of an NHL game for being a fight instigator, how many penalty minutes does he get for the fight?

Answer: 17

Seventeen total-five for the fight itself, two for being the instigator, and ten for misconduct.

2. How many NHL teams of the late 1990s and early 2000s had jerseys that feature animals breaking hockey sticks?

Answer: 2

The Florida Panthers' logo on their alternate jersey is breaking a stick, and the San Jose Sharks' jerseys show their beloved shark taking a huge bite out of one.

3. Chris Drury was a little league baseball star. If intersport trading was legal, which of these pitchers, who was drafted by the Kings, would the Avalanche most likely trade for?

Answer: Tom Glavine

Glavine was drafted by L.A. as a winger before electing to pitch for the Atlanta Braves.

4. Which person has been dubbed 'Chicken-Parm' by ESPN's NHL2Night crew?

Answer: Ray Ferraro

The Thrashers' centre was given this nickname because he bought the entire crew chicken parmesan sandwiches while doing some playoff work for them.

5. Whose logo appears on each NHL game puck?

Answer: The home team's

6. Willie O'Ree was the first black player in the NHL.

Answer: True

He played for the Boston Bruins from 1957 to 1979 (he was born in Canada and previously played for the Quebec Aces of the AHL). Unfortunately, O'Ree's NHL experience did not exactly open the floodgates. Less than 10 percent of today's NHL players are African-American, and less than 1 percent are of Latin American decent.

7. Prior to the San Jose Sharks, what was the last NHL team to play in California's Bay Area?

Answer: Golden Seals

The Barons played in Cleveland, and the Vancouver Millionaires played before the existence of the NHL.

8. The Carolina Hurricanes have never played a regular season game in which of these cities?

Answer: Charlotte

This was a bit of a trick question. The Hurricanes' first home was Greensboro, and now they play in Raleigh. While Atlanta has never been their home, they HAVE played a game there against the Thrashers. There is no NHL team in Charlotte.

9. In the 1980s, hockey pucks broke the glass a lot more than usual. This is because many were made from recycled _______ ?

Answer: Tires

Some of the tires the pucks were made from contained metal particles.

10. The Anaheim Bullfrogs were in what professional hockey league?

Answer: RHI

The short-lived Roller Hockey International's Anaheim team was named the Bullfrogs, for whatever reason.
